WarFoundry on ubuntu 12.04(x64)

[Morbid]

Try to run WarFoundry-GTK and get the following error log:

FATAL [02:04:16]: FrmMainWindow.HandleUnhandledException() - Line: 0 - (System.MissingMethodException) Method not found: 'System.Type.op_Inequality'.

Reported in ​this thread. The problem is that Ubuntu/Debian now compile GTK# (and other core libraries) using .Net 4.0 profiles but we still target 2.0 for widest compatibility.

Running the app as:

mono --runtime=v4.0 /path/to/WarFoundry-GTK.exe

should (apparently) fix the problem by forcing it to run 2.0 code as 4.0 code, but Morbid just got the following instead:

INFO  [02:04:12]: FrmMainWindow.OnWindowDestroyed() - Line: 0 - Exiting
DEBUG [02:04:12]: FrmMainWindow.Main() - Line: 0 - Application ended

More investigation (and an Ubuntu VM) is required.

I've just tried recreating this in Ubuntu 12.04 b2 using a live CD in a VM and have recreated the initial failure, but not the failure with "--runtime".

Mono isn't on the live distro, so I had to install mono-runtime, libmono-posix4.0-cil and libgtk2.0-cil, but after that it worked (see screenshot).

Please can you run the following command and attach the file it creates:

dpkg -l '*cil*' | grep "ii " > packages.txt && dpkg -l '*mono*' | grep "ii " >> packages.txt

Just realised I was using the latest nightly, but you've reported this against v0.1. If you were using v0.1, can you also test the ​latest nightly and see if that works with the "--runtime" switch?

May have been fixed (or at least bodged over) as part of #417, but still needs checking and confirming on other installs.
